Man Makes Epic 'Predator' Costume Out Of Foam

Sitting somewhere between blockbuster action hit and cult classic, the 1987 film Predator is remembered as much for its memorable one-liners as it is for its inventive, eponymous alien nemesis. This intergalactic sportsman pays 38th Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger and 38th Governor of Minnesota Jessie Ventura and unforgettable visit in a fictional South American jungle and has been popular amongst amateur costumers ever since. The sinsister masked creature is a sure bet to win a costume contest, especially when the costume in question is on an adorable child.

But how does something this intricate and detailed get made?

From simple craft store material, of course.

Imgur user zmnypit was there to capture his friend’s transformation into the fiersome alien hunter, using foam and skilled hand.

This is not a novice project and indeed cost about $1200 to put together.
